Just started relistening to galaxies edge and it made me sad that while we can have an amazing narrator like RC bray, we will never actually in any real capacity get an adaptation of it. Even if it was adapted it would be a schlock reduction of a great story. Other books like gilded needles, fear nothing, and many, many others that would make great media adaptations also escape that convoluted cesspit we call Hollywood. So I was wondering what books/stories that captivated you would be your top picks for a true adaptation.

Calvin and Hobbes.
Bill Watterson's commitment to his principles in regards to monetizing his masterpiece is genuinely inspirational. For those who don't know, he refused to create any spin off products and stuck to collected volumes of his work as the only Calvin and Hobbes products. No coffee mugs, no Hobbes stuffed animals, no Calvin and Hobbes the flamethrower...just the collections of his comics. There was a lot of pressure from publishers and other monied interests for him to branch out in the way that say Garfield had, but he was resolute.
The guy who make Pearls Before Swine worked with Watterson once and said that he's very private and it felt like meeting bigfoot.
This is 100% Correct. The only recent monetization I've seen is a the four volume Hard-Cover set.
Frankly, it should go on a mantel or be placed as the center piece in a podium.
